Test Explorer UI not working in Cursor 1.2.1

Describe the Bug

Hi guys, i was using cursor 1.0 and the Test Explorer UI with PHPUnit Test Explorer was working.

Steps to Reproduce

After update to 1.2.1 the test explorer was not displaying none of my tests even though i’m in a phpunit test file. I’ve uninstalled both extensions, but now the test explorer icon does not even show up in activity bar.

Operating System

Linux

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, the test tab appears only after you have at least one testing extension installed.

I can confirm that PHPUnit and Pest tests show in the Testing display on v1.2.1

@thiago-figueredo feel free to ask me details.

The testing bar does not appears

I have both extensions installed

I personally don’t code in PHP, but I tried installing this extension and I also didn’t see the Test Explorer tab. However, running PHPUnit: Run All Tests from the Command Palette did trigger the tab to appear. It seems to be a specific behavior of this extension, since other extensions like Playwright — have this tab visible all the time.

@thiago-figueredo in the same menu which shows Extensions,.. it has also Testing (a menu item)

There you can find the tests as shown in my previous screenshots.

[Edit - added Alternative way to open Testing from Command Palette]

[thiago-figueredo]

The test explorer does not show any test configuration, even though i’ve installed phpunit test explorer

The issue is now fixed in Cursor 1.2.2
